So it's been about two weeks or so since I first took a seat in the original Delta Glider and achieved my first stable orbit.
In that time I've managed to dock two DGIVs with ISS, set up a crew on the station, supply them with food and oxygen and press on with both gliders to the moon.
My attempt to establish a preliminary lunar base were a modest success.
The team led by Lt Reg Barkley got both gliders down without too much drama and set up two UCGO base modules, a landing transponder and a packable rover.
The base was promptly christened Lunar Surface Station 1 and I took some time to feel satisfaction at the missions success.
Of course it took a hell of a lot of fuel to pull it all off and I have to admit some of it was 'magic' fuel that just happened to pop into existence in the DGs cargo bay, hardly satisfactory and it did make the victory ring somewhat hollow... so the quest began to find the pure path to victory, the true artistry of fuel management, so yeah... I looked it up on the forums.
